Are These Common Curl Mistakes Holding You Back?
It’s Shirin here! As we step into the new year, I want to talk about something I see often—common mistakes that can hold curls back from their full potential.
Let’s make 2025 the year your curls thrive by avoiding these pitfalls:
1. Using the Wrong Products
The right products make all the difference. Shampoos, conditioners, and stylers should be tailored to your hair type and texture. If you’re unsure what’s best for your curls, let’s chat at your next appointment—I love helping clients figure this out!
2. Skipping Trims
I get it—life gets busy. But going too long between cuts leads to weak, damaged ends and throws your shape off. A trim every 10-12 weeks keeps your curls healthy and bouncy. Pre-booking can save you from the last-minute scramble!
3. Overwashing Your Hair
Washing too often strips natural oils, leaving curls dry and frizzy. Instead, refresh your hair between washes with a little water and leave-in conditioner. Your curls will feel hydrated and soft without the extra washing.
4. Using the Wrong Brush
The right brush or comb is just as important as the products you use. Avoid brushes that can snag or break your hair—opt for wide-tooth combs or brushes specifically designed for curls.
5. Sleeping Without Protection
One of the easiest fixes for better curls? Switching to a satin pillowcase or using a satin scarf at night. It helps preserve your curl pattern and prevents frizz and breakage.
6. Not Staying Consistent
Curls thrive with a solid routine. The effort you put in at home really does show in the salon chair. Whether it’s trying a new technique or sticking to your trims, consistency is key to long-term results.
Let’s work together to make 2025 your best curl year yet. If you have questions or need advice, We're always here to help.
